11.7.17 Pilot pump (4.2.6)
Fig. 52 Pilot pump
Description
The function controls a pilot pump via a digital output. The pilot
pump takes over the operation from the main pumps in periods
when the consumption is so small that the stop function of the
main pumps is activated. See section 11.7.23 Stop function
(4.3.1).
Via a digital input, the operational state of the pilot pump is
monitored, i.e. whether it is operational or in a fault condition.
The purpose is to
save energy
reduce the number of operating hours of the main pumps.
If the pilot pump cannot keep the pressure by itself, one or more
main pumps are started. If only one main pump is started and
runs on/off operation, the pilot pump remains cut in. If one or
more main pumps run continuously, the pilot pump is cut out.
Setting range
